That was a tweet from the Miami Marlins’ best player at around 7 p.m. ET Tuesday, minutes after he realized his professional goals were in legitimate jeopardy. And it summed up just about everyone’s feelings perfectly, unless, of course, you collect a paycheck from or are a fan of the Toronto Blue Jays.

In one of the most incredible, shocking and epic salary dumps in the history of big-money professional sports, the Marlins’ wretched ownership and front office agreed to trade every impact player they still had, with the exception of Stanton, to the Blue Jays.

Two of last season’s blockbuster acquisitions, shortstop Jose Reyes and left-hander Mark Buehrle, along with front-line right-hander Josh Johnson and second baseman/outfielder Emilio Bonifacio, are leaving the Marlins, with John Buck a throw-in for salary purposes.

In return, the Marlins reportedly will get troubled shortstop Yunel Escobar, young shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria, starter Henderson Alvarez, minor league starters Justin Nicolino and Anthony DeSclafani, minor league outfielder Jake Marisnick and veteran catcher Jeff Mathis in a deal first reported by FoxSports.com.

The Marlins, after spending $191 million for Reyes, Buehrle and closer Heath Bell last winter, will shed roughly $160 million in guaranteed salary with this trade, pending league approval.

The salary purge began in July when Miami traded third baseman Hanley Ramirez, starter Anibal Sanchez, second baseman Omar Infante and reliever Edward Mujica, among others, and it continued last month when it parted with Bell. Manager Ozzie Guillen also was fired, but the Marlins presumably are on the hook for the three years and reported $7.5 million remaining on his deal.

Frankly, the Marlins should be absolutely ashamed. Then again, it’s not like their art-dealing owner Jeffrey Loria is unaccustomed to or affected by being painted with that brush.

Loria swindled the city of Miami into building him a publicly funded stadium. In return, he duped the team’s fans last winter by spending like the sky was the limit. He even made runs at first baseman Albert Pujols and left-hander C.J. Wilson in an attempt to convince the public the franchise suddenly was serious about spending for talent and, in turn, winning.

The non-publicized facts of those deals were that they were all back-loaded, meaning Loria, or someone else, wouldn’t pay the bulk of those agreements until late in the contracts. That gave Loria and Co.—president David Samson, president of baseball operations Larry Beinfest and general manager Michael Hill—time to move those players and unload the overwhelming majority of the salaries in the near future.

No one figured it would be this near in the future.

Miami got prospects in return in this blockbuster, but not Toronto’s top prospect. For now, it is a blockbuster for only the much-improved Blue Jays. It is a travesty for the Marlins, the kind of decision that should prompt commissioner Bud Selig to take a long look at Loria’s business practices.

If Selig fails to do so, Frank McCourt probably will wish he had held on to the Los Angeles Dodgers a little longer because what Loria has done is arguably worse than what McCourt did.

Responding to a text message asking for his reaction to the Marlins-Jays trade, an American League executive replied, “SMH”—as in shaking my head in disgust.

The Blue Jays are the beneficiaries of Loria’s deceit. They will take on plenty of money in this deal, but they have had it to spend for a while now. Their rotation gets a major upgrade, as does their defense and top-of-the-order offense. Toronto is now a contender in the AL East thanks to Miami.

The Marlins are now a complete embarrassment, and not just because they are strong candidates to lose 90-plus games again next season.

It isn’t as if Loria cares, though.

His priority, over everything else baseball-related, is to line his own pockets with other people’s money and protect his own wealth with the ferocity of a pit bull on a pork chop.

Loria was vilified when he gutted a World Series-winning Marlins team after the 2003 season. He was crushed for trading Ramirez less than a season after he paid to build the “new” Marlins. He was hit again for trading Bell and firing Guillen. This trade with the Blue Jays will take the hatred for him to a completely foreign level, one rarely—if ever—associated with any owner in any sport.

And through it all, Loria won’t blink while staring at his art collection that sits above the unrecognizable remains of the team he just blew to inexpensive and less-talented pieces.

It’s disgusting. It’s the kind of deal that makes you wonder how a man like this was ever allowed to buy a baseball franchise and keep it for as long as he has.

Whatever kind of art dealer Loria is doesn’t matter now. The only memorable “art” he should be known for dealing in is the art of the scam.

And to his credit, Jeffrey Loria has done it as well as anyone ever has.
